Hi ☺️

I own a company in Bulgaria, working as an international commodities trader. I am the sole employee of the company, working remotely on a regular basis and managing everything through the company’s international bank account.

Do I meet the requirements to apply for the visa? Is my status sufficient? Would I need to transfer funds to my personal account, or would it be enough to present the company’s account? Or should I show both?

I would say the required documents should be your recent utility bill for current location and for freelancer status company incorporation docs along with a signed and stamped letter head stating that you can work from thailand, your personal bank accounts containing equivalent to 500k bt, also you can supplement with your company's statement, previous years tax return, invoices/ledger from from trading account should be sufficient, I know its a over kill but better be safe than sorry. If you are doubtful then you can go for soft power route, just search the group. No one can guarantee visa as different embassies have different policies. Also some embassies demand 500k bt equivalent is maintained through

/1 month and few are okay with only last balance in your personal bank account.

Look at the Thai Embassy in Bulgaria website.

Best to apply at the Embassy in the country where you have residency.

Sometimes it depends purely on the consulate you intend to apply at. Overkill is better than missing the mark.

@Ofek ******
you can search the group with keyword Hanoi and read through posts with Hanoi approvals to get an idea of what was submitted for the successful applications. That said, you can also read through other remote worker or freelance applications to glean an understanding of what works.
